>>122891344If you're watching only a handful of shows, then every season must be good.The amount of shit this season is unreal. I usually watch 25-28, but I can barely stomach 15 this season.I'm not saying that to brag, as if it's something to be proud of, but just to give you some context. I have nothing against people who watch a handful of shows.

>>122891150It is not even a contest.SHIROBAKO is the only show that I actually F5 actively during release day. [email protected] went to shit after the 1st ep with Mio fucking Honda and the rest have been utterly mediocre and forgettable.Fall was even worse. Yuyuyu was the only other interesting original and ended with no closure.

After all those episodes, it's just strange to see budget v. quality topic isn't much explained. All of screw-ups mostly come either from directors, faulty planning, domino effect from small stuffs, etc. Does that mean that all this 'm-m-muh budget!' complain is invalid?

My record is 25 for a season. It was back in 2008 and actually caused a lot of trouble in my real life, starting from too much time spent and so on...I think anything above 20 is damaging, while somewhere between 10 and 20 is plausible. Below 15 is perhaps the limit for a healthy hobby life

>>122892013Sometimes an incompetent staff is just an incompetent staff.

>>122891605The scene where Tarou interjects with his opinions to Endou about 3D, and Endou's reaction was priceless when Tarou said that 3D was the future. Like all the color in his face vanished, his hopes and dreams died in a flash, anger and sorrow cannot begin to describe it. Made me laugh too hard.

>>122891519This. So yeah, a good season for me is when I enjoy more than the usual handful of shows, regardless of how large or small of a percentage of the good they make up.

Same deal with seeing it on social media and /a/, etc, if there's more than the usual number of well-received shows that gather a lot of buzz or acclaim or whatever, I'm willing to pronounce it a good season. Like if there were 50 shows made and /a/ liked 10 that's a more successful season in my book

>>122892033I should mention that recently, more of them have been shorts.I don't think consistent 25+ was something that used to happen more than a year or so ago.I started seasonal watching in early 2010.

>>122892112But I have seen tons of such complains, especially anything comes from DEEN, A-1, or IMS.>>122892176Isn't it strange that they don't meet that problem? I'd believe that if it's Canaan or G.I. Staff, but not Musani.

>>122891824>>122892214The problem is not a sheer number of shows you watch. It's about time you spend for 'thing other than a 25 minutes episode', like going somewhere to talk about something you've just watched and etc. If you are watching more than 20, the chance is highly likely that you have like 4 to 5 shows of which you find interesting enough to do more with it, and that's where it starts to damaging your life

>>122892327Why would it? They dont air chinese cartoon on the same day and they are usually spread out over the week.Lets say you watch 2anime/day, it is only 40mins/day. For me, I dont watch TV and it is only 40mins of my time per day.

Most people watch more TV in a single day than I watch anime in a week.

>>122892300But that doesn't mean they don't have budget problem. At least they could mention that, it's just way too smooth with Nabe-P handling all his stuffs with production committee, it's unbelievable.

>>122892152I always wonder how /a/ loves this show so much when they called themselves NEET. Before i got a job, i couldn't watch anything about people working because i felt bad about myself. Maybe /a/ is full of half-normalfags like me.

>>122891415A good season should be judged as such based on the amount of actually good stuff, not the amount of 'stomachable' garbage. This season is chocked full of absolutely garbage battleharem LN adaptations that are borderline unwatchable even for the shittiest of tastes, but that doesn't change the fact that there's also a tonne of actually good, or at least decent shit this season, especially compared to the abject shit that was most of 2013 and 2014, where there were, at most 3 or 4 decent shows each season.

Relative to that, with stuff like Rolling Girls, Koufuku Graffiti, Cross Ange, Death Parade, Aldnoah, DRRR S2, Jojo, Maria, Parastye, Saekano, [email protected] and Yurikuma this season, it's one of the least shitty seasons in a long time. Damn near anyone can find at least a half dozen shows to watch, no matter what your preferences are.

>>122892579Most people who call themselves NEET are just joking/exaggerating.

That said, I'm NEET but love watching anime about people working, it's basically like a fantasy. Especially in anime, since work is cute and all problems with coworkers are played for laughs or resolved.

You can find "occasionally trustworthy" opinions ANYWHERE. The problem with /a/ is that the amount of garbage pile to cover any intellectual or constructive opinion is so high, it's worse than a needle in a haystack. I have extremely low regard for "anons".

>>122892672>>122892682>Do you base that on how popular it is on /a/, or the ratio of love/hate it has in its threads?Neither and both. i don't solely use /a/. I read recaps or reviews, see my social media feed, and threads on /a/ and elsewhere to see what the "mood" around the show is, and if there's more than the usual shows inspiring a lot of buzz (ideally more positive than negative) all around, then I'm willing to call a season more "successful" than one that had fewer shows people were talking about.

I'm not some kind of pollster and I'm not a blogger so I can't be bothered to exert any more effort than that, and ultimately it can all be overturned by what shows I actually liked and watched, which can include unpopular things that no one else seemed to be watching.

>>122893087The first was more interesting and fast-paced, believe it or not.I don't want to stop you though. If you like asspulls, literal plot devices, and a boring rivalry between boring characters, then you might enjoy it.

>>122893087It's not as good as the first season, if that's even possible. They got rid of the PTSD faggot's screentime-sucking subplot, but instead transformed the show into a really dull space opera political drama. The threads are so full of shitposting because there's really nothing else worth talking about.

>>122893140Yandere edits and bully wars are probably what keeps most of the threads alive. Besides, /a/nons can be surprisingly creative and funny, unlike the guy who always posts shitty distorted images and webm all the time.

She seems like the type of girl who wears a hoodie and yoga pants everywhere because she can't be bothered wearing anything else. Except that Ema probably only washes her clothes once a week at most since she can't afford to wash them more frequently.

>>122893092>>122893080The premise with "anime talking about anime" left me extremely reluctant. I hate how LN, manga and so anime tend to treat more and more only about Otaku culture and I thought Shirobako was not expection. Horrible mistake.

It's funny because I actually look forward to bitching about Aldnoah every week, but then the threads end up being completely unfunny unironic shipwars, tripfags, namefags, honest to god political debate as if the writing warrants any sincere scrutiny, and there's at least one barely literate ESL fuck.

Not like Shirobako threads which are usually full of cute GIFs, jokes, anime industry discussion. The "shitposting" is never depressing armchair debates about bullshit anime physics.

And it's all going to end in one week. I'm going to imagine burying my face safely in Best Director's soft belly now. ;_;

>>122893243>Took several years just to land 1 role>it's not even 5 minutes worth She's still as fail as ever. Her voice isn't going to magically fill cash cow roles when they have never happened before.

>>122893087I'm enjoying second season actually. My problem with the Aldnoah threads on /a/ is that they're full of people honestly unironically debating everything even though the writing isn't good enough to warrant deep analysis.

>>122893629She was in the head of Kinoshita ever since the audition + she actually has something of quality to put on her CV. That's a big first step, and she might be called back for other Musani productions.

>>122893247It's gotten so bad that not even those people are sticking around. It's like the same five faggots arguing about real life politics/philosophy and trying to apply their Wikipedia citations instead of just relaxing and joking about SPACE WIND or something. I think the last thread they literally argued about whether mining resources from asteroids vs a planet was more viable for 20+ posts.

>Series Composition>Michiko Yokote>The name stands for a team of female screenwriters (a plot writer and a dialog writer), coordinated by a third woman named Michiko.>Implying Okada is not involved in a P.A. Works

>>122894149Valvrave was silly and enjoyable to watch with /a/. I quite liked Gargantia, for the art mostly.Aldnoah is just drab and and depressing. The first half has some good moments in terms of presentation, and some interesting mecha concepts, but the second half is the equivalent of a beige, wet, moldy towel.

>>122894149I don't like mech shows (I dropped Gargantia) but I enjoy Aldnoah. As long as you can relax and not take it too seriously I think it's worth a watch. (Psycho Pass is legitimately good, I haven't watched S2 yet, though.)

>>122894326Because comic artists can't into weapons. At a long shot, it's possible that they went with an incorrect design due to comics code regulations against depiction of realistic weaponry. Like how comic-book guns from the 70s-early00's never look plausible because of scares about assault rifles etc.

>>122894626>This is my donut.>There are many like it, but this one is mine. >My donut is my best friend. >It is my life.>I must master it, as I must master my life. >Without me my donit is useless. >Without my donut, I am useless.

Shouldn't Zuka apply for some minor roles in the past 2 years? There are probably a lot of small roles in anime that only speak 1-2 lines in the entire cour (like the mixing assistant or Ai). It's weird that she competed for the main character Aria when she didn't have any experience yet.

>Aoi's beerDue to her job, she often has to wrestle with important people, difficult people, namely important and difficult men. Her drinking beer is a way of trying to say "I can be one of the men too; I'm not just a feeble girl who can be pushed around".>Rii's cola or whateverShe's underage.>Mii's cocktailShe's painfully aware of her boyish appearance. She feels even more self-conscious about this because her expertise is computers, and she recently spent a lot of time modelling tires and car parts; associated with masculinity and lack of sensitivity. A cocktail is a pitiful way of trying to be more classy and feminine.>Ema's beerEma is weak willed. She was too nervous to order a complex cocktail, in case she embarrassed herself. She didn't want to appear immature by ordering a carbonated drink like Midori, so copying Aoi's beer was the only viable choice.

>>122895978I'll bet Ema drinks beer because it reminds her of the father that she had a falling out with. She chose her career over her family's wishes but still misses them. Part of her motivation for pushing onward with her career is to become the kind of person who can stand with dignity before her old man. She's too shy to date so she can't find an external surrogate and has to internalize it instead.

Misa probably drinks cocktails because the best way to bait a meek young lesbian into putting out is to get her smashed, and most of the girls at her local cherry pit don't know their limits and will just try to her drink-for-drink. Sweetness masks the flavour of alcohol and makes it more difficult to realize how much you've had and how drunk you're getting, so cocktails are perfect for that purpose.

>>122896299>Japanese beersAs far as I'm aware, they have shitty weak fake beer, and then proper beer which is much more expensive and less frequently consumed.Perhaps you're thinking of the first. I'm not sure.

>>122893561But then you would get money taken out of your paycheck by the state to pay for your mistake.

I work in payroll anon, I feel bad for some of the people I deal with. They pay out over half of their paychecks to the state for child support. Making a girl a single mom sounds cute and romantic, but it's very expensive in real life ;_;

>>122898263>dresses like a boy>fashions hair like a boy>acts like a boy>has boylike interests>works in a male-dominated fieldIt mainly just panders to my trap fantasies. Mii is 7/10 and a girl, but 10/10 as a fuccboi.

>>122898688It's mostly to have something to do when you're bored and have downtime, or to break up your focus when doing tedious work.

Since you don't really have to pay attention to something like Isuca to 'experience' it, you can shift between it and some other task. Watching 5 minutes of shitty battleharem after 20 minutes of work helps keep my mind awake.

>>122892500That's a feeling I know all too well.>Oh boy, I've got 3 whole fucking hours before bed and work tomorrow! >Time to watch some anime!And then I get through 2 episodes and spend the rest of the time arguing on /a/, and end up staying up late and being tired the next day.
